Topic: Nutrition, Wumpette Style (Read 851724 times)

I thought I'd have a date with Wumpy tonight, even though he's stood me up. So for dinner I'm making hot dogs (though in a nod to NO MOAR CARBS I shunned the buns), tater tots (yummy! perfect treat for 16 year olds named Justin!) and baked beans (I had trouble finding a can opener because the last time I purchased something in a can was a few years ago).

ps: if I don't come out of the trailer park by midnight send Jan to find me

Hope you added some American processed cheese slices to the hot dogs and added an extra layer of salt to the tator tots....

I had a large philly cheese steak sub yesterday for lunch - with all the toppings - and they had to wrap it in three layers of paper and the grease still seeped out. Then I went to Duffy's sports bar earlier tonight and had some breaded chicken wings...

Can a big bag of Lays potato chips and a family size Wonder bread be far behind? And don't forget a vat of Gulden's mustard and maybe some Kraft imitation mayo and those triangular packaged cheeses! And the appetizer would be Campbell's tomato soup and some Ritz crackers. For dessert some Hostess cupcakes on a platter. And wash it all down with some Colt 45 malt liquors! Then strike up a Newport cig.

I had a date with someone who has decent feet and not those hoove things that you have that the doctors keep chopping on. Anyways, Went to Cici's pizza and stuffed myself with Hot cinnamon rolls... (I may have to take 4 fish-oils to counteract the 2 platefulls of rolls)

SHAMEFUL we have a Cici's pizza next to a very large trailer-park, and when I went to that place I wasn't very impressed w/ their menu, in fact I got sick the next day, and never returned to the place I think that Cici's pizza has moved to another location, and where it used to be is now a Golden Corral

One of those cinnamon rolls looks like a chicken wing... are you sure you got what you paid for?

I agree. Those cinnamon rolls look slightly mutated. They look like a plate of turds shot out of an 83 year old woman and then sprayed with hot cum, then shoved to Wumpy through some buffet line glass on a nauseating yellow ochre plate.

Im seriously thinking about buying a takeout pan of those tonight, I think you can get a pan for $5.99. I know a pan of gooey hot cinnamon rolls is not good for my elevated cholesterol but DAMMIT Ive been so good diet-wise I really need to fall off the wagon, if only for a night.

Whats the fun of a hot dog with no bun. Or, did you slice them, gril fry to crispy edges and pour the baked beans over it.

They had saucisses de vienne (hot dogs) marked down at the last hour at the supermarket tonight. I really wanted them, but I opted for boneless skinless turkey breast. A meat so bland I always have to find some spicy saucey way to eat it. And I won't even bother until Tuesday, I bet. It just doesnt motivate me.

Who was I kidding though. A couple meters down the aisle I spied a chuck of p‚tť en croŻte aux morilles at half price, and threw it in my cart, cause so you know I'm getting my porc fat!

In the fall I go a a kick of lentil, endives and red beets so I'll probably eat that pate sliced, cold. with lentils and endive, all cheap. That is perfect for sunday lunch. I'm planting spring bulbs tomorrow, all day.

My mom used to make a dish called Dotty-Dogs when I was a kid, and actually I still make it from time to time. You make instant potatos using tomato sauce (makes the potatos nice and red and tangy), then you slice hot dogs half-way thu down the middle lengthwise and put the mashed potatos in them, then top with cheese and bake.

I'm eating what ever I want to from now on . I ran , I worked out and ate the right foods and my lipids are still sky high so why bother . Last night was fried potato's with fried pork chops . I had a half of apple brown Betty pie and a small bag of chili Frito's before bed .

I like hot dogs both plain and with buns. It's just that this time I bought "for good kosher Jews" Hebrew National Jumbo Beef Franks (preferred brand, along with Nathan's... I won't buy any others) and they come 4 to a package because of the larger size. Buns are 8 to a package, and since I only indulge in hot dogs maybe twice a year I just figured I'd go without this time.

ps: when I have buns I prefer top-sliced, toasted. And relish is a must! And always resist the urge to buy those hot dogs from street vendors in NYC!

I have a hankering for some freshly made party mix and think I will muster up some now that I am thinking about em. I will add pecans to this. We actually had a good amount this year from a little pecan grove that is out on the farm.

Today's treat for me was to fix a few hot spiced rums and then finish spraying some pine cones with cinnamon oil mixed in a bit of water. The pine cones will dry and smell to high heavens for a few weeks. Warning: do NOT get cinnamon oil on your skin... burns like a branding iron on a hot July afternoon.

Party Mix? As in Chex Party Mix? That's very high in salt, or it is when my mother makes it at Christmas. Between that and gorging on salt-cured country ham I return home with elevated blood pressure.

It can be very high in salt, especially the kind you purchase already made. I was checking to see what all I have and can do a version with wheat chex, corn and rice chex, pecans, and wasabi covered peanuts. I am craving party food for some reason today... could be the little bit of spiced rum I had just a while ago.

edited to add: I dont want to blow my BP up so if I make this it will be a lower salt version. Our Christmas ham will be ordered soon... Virginia ham of course!

I would try it if I were in Italy.... cant knock it till I try it. Can you buy that in Phila?

Yes, I know of a butcher who carries it at the 9th Street italian Market. I'm sure other butchers might have it there too, there are a handful of them. But this one in particular is where I've had it. If you like regular prosciutto then you'd probably like it -- definitely a richer taste. Now see what you folks are missing by not picking Miss P's city for AMG? DC does not have this fierce Italiano flavor! Trust! I grew up there.

All of this food talk made me dig into the fridge to my cheese purchases I made a week ago and believe it or not had not dived into yet --such self-discipline. So I'm now eating a minute portion of Toma della Rocca. It's an amazing soft, stinky cheese from the Piedmont region of Italy and is mixture of cow's, goat's and sheep's milk. This is some seriously great cheese.

Did anyone catch Modern Marvels "All About Cold Cuts" last night? They had a segment on how they make Salami. Very interesting. They also showed Carnegie Deli's Pastrami making. The downside to the episode was when they showed how bologna was made...I love bologna (of course) but never really wanted to know how it was made. Its pretty disgusting, Before its cooked its just emulsified meat pieces in a huge vat, it resembles a gooey paste.

You make instant potatos using tomato sauce (makes the potatos nice and red and tangy), then you slice hot dogs half-way thu down the middle lengthwise and put the mashed potatos in them, then top with cheese and bake.

It should be vile but that sounds delicious. Can I watch Parent Trap on DVD while I eat?

CiCi's in Austin are all owned by the same old guy and he known for keeping his storefronts spotless and shining. I used to go to one on the east side at least twice a month when I was single, but have been only once or twice since cohabitating. The manager recognized me when I came in and had the kitchen throw a mushroom pie in the oven for me immediately. I may have to trek over there one day when I start driving again. Santi's not down w/ that. Ferociously anti-carb unless alcohol is involved.

Yes you can get all sorts of it with Swiss, Austrian or Italian pigs. They say the black forest boar is a scam though.In Geneva, the government hunts the pigs and only a few butchers get the meat.Its a guilty pleasure. I dip figs, dates or dried apricots in MOSTARDA DI FRUTTA syrup then wrap in Prosciutto di Cinghiale on an amber glass plate. If the fruit in the mustard is really top, then I'll just use it. Nuke it 2 minutes at least on high power. its best piping hot and the prosciutto, scandale, is cooked!. It floods the aparment with voluptuous aromas.

Why? They won't kill you and anyone with a normal diet can stomach them and sometimes its heaven!Yes, EVERY relish and condiment available!

I saw too many reports on television when I lived in NYC about the rodent situation in the warehouses where they store those carts. And how the heated water the hot dogs are cooked in routinely tests for something nasty, can't recall the specifics.

had an amazing Dog from one of those carts on Wall St, or Broad Street, somewhere down in front of the Stock Exchange a couple years ago. It really was fantastic! Stomach survived it, but I do have a cast iron stomach.

@ Grandma Bocker - my diet is not for the faint of heart, but im doing much better! Ive actually had Oatmeal and a banana for breakfast every morning for the past few weeks. As a matter of fact Ive already finished one of those BIG containers of Quaker Oats. This is real progress

Well, good -- keep it up. Remember that someday, Grandma Wump will be passing on her special recipes to the granddaughter. Of course, you will have to come up with some recipes first................ Preferably some with natural ingredients!

M(who is laughing pretty hard right now about the name, "Grandma Wump" -- which is probably better than "Grandma Willy")

OMG, gonna ahve to make this and take it to my Aunties Thurs. Btw, one of the best things about Thanksgiving in the south is how we can turn a perfectly healthy vegetable into a gooey sugary dessert that masquerades as a side dish

I just cook them sweet-potatos up like mashed potatos, sweet potates are just that, you don't need any of that sugar, and vanilla, I just put low-fat butter on them & serve them up just the way they are..d'yum

Willy, I fear that your gonna up with DIABETES if your not careful with all that sugar intake, you know better than that
